Question

Suppose you have a 148-kg wooden crate resting on a wood floor. (a) what maximum force (in n) can you exert horizontally on the crate without moving it?

Answer 1

1450.4 newtons has to be applied so the object can move , because At average gravity on Earth (conventionally,g = 9.80665 m/s2), a kilogram mass exerts a force of about 9.8 newtons. An average-sized apple exerts about one newton of force, which we measure as the apple's weight.
